Special Treatment Prelude The superstructure of social relations denotes the details of the system of association as tackled by books of traditions (i.e. hadith ). This system is composed of a set of obligatory laws on social etiquette and manners, deals with the various forms of association with others, and presents the ideal and most accurate outline for building social relations.

Islam has identified the aspects of this concept, outlined its foundations and rules and established (S) In the coming chapters, we will briefly discuss the details of this concept and the relationship between these details and the two aspects of the Islamic concept of social relations. The correlation between the rules of the concept and its features on the one hand and the superstructure or details, on the other, will be made unmistakably clear.

However, details and demonstration of the outlines and elements of this concept is left for my independent book that is dedicated to the Islamic concept of social relations.[^1] This section is composed of two chapters. The first chapter deals with the superstructure, which confirms and clarifies different aspects of social relations. The second chapter deals with the superstructure of the rules and foundations of the concept.

Discussion of details will follow the sequence adopted in the first section of this book.
